Resum

Network playing carries the risks of addiction related to excessive time and money investment and the virtualization of relationships, although it may facilitate com- munication linked to online entertainment. Interviews with CityVille players (N=105) show the relationship between time and money invested with levels achieved and accomplishments. Men spend more money and time in games than women and pri- oritize competition, while the latter stress collaboration. Both genders perceive having developed interpersonal skills, but women emphasize the communicative ones. Addict- ed subjects spend more than 5 hours a day and invest 23 USD per month in this game, and play 5 to 7 other online games.
